V0L.VIL,N0.43. BEPORTS ON KANSAS CROPS Tt9 Agricultural Bureau Is Enlightened by the Beport of a Special Agent. Washington, October 19. -When Secretary Morton assumed charge of the Agricultural Department there was at Garden City, Kas., a grass and forage experiment farm -which had cost between 820,000 and $30,000. He decided that it was more of an expense than a necessity and discontinued it. Eecently he directed a special agent to make investigations at Garden City and report to the department upon the conditions there. The report has been received from Manhattan, Kas. It says: "At Garden City I saw the old grass garden and the old State Experi ment Station. No credence whatever is to be given to Dr. Sewall's reports of his work, for he did nothing but draw his pay. Hungarian brome grass was not a success in that region, and is not now, for it is quickly . run out by buffalo grass. Sewall was a politician and was interested in Garden City financially. All his reports were for the ...

1SC5. THE ADVOOATIj. SOME INSIDE VIEWS. A Few Choice Stories on the Redeemer Crowd. One of the causes assigned for Joe Hudson's financial embarassment is the publication of George T. An thony's communications. Anthony writes often and much. He can't tell a story briefly, like an ordinary citizen. He scorns less than two columns. When Anthony unburdens himself, the reportorial force of the Capital takes a vacation. Hudson prints every thing he sends in, It is said that An thony will not give the reporters a piece of news unless they will promise to print it in full, just as he writes it. Very few reporters will do this, there fore Hudson's paper has numerous in surance scoops dangling from its' belt. The composition on Anthony's contri buttons figure up to an amazing sum every month. J. L. Bristow and Charley Martin are enemies. They have a natural dis like for each other, and it was intensi fied a year ago when Martin was given a clerkship by the Republican State central committee, ...

THE ADVOOAT was 33.79, while the Rustler's bill was 33 50. And still some people are foolish enough to state that it does not pay the taxpayer to vote the Populist ticket. The case in the United States court against J.' M. Hagaman, of the Con cordis Blade, in which he was charged with sending obscene matter through the mails, ha3 been dismissed. The case was based on some remarks he made in regard to Troutman. Superintendent ' Stewart, of the Olathe Deaf and Dumb Institute, was not removed when his term expired some time ago. The Board requested him to stay until such time as a worthy successor could be found and elected. The change will not occur until Decern ber.

THE JIDVOOTEl. ltt& How to Economize. '. There is no falser economy than to buy Inferior goods, and this rule holds pood for food as well as for clothes. . A good material looks well to the end, and can be washed or cleaned and made up again in various. ways. It is better to have one well made dress of good material than two or three badly-made of poor 6tuff, which will look shabby and untidy after wearing once or twice. When dusting or sweeping an apron should 'always be worn, and for any very dirty work it is a good plan to change the dress, and wear an old one kept entire ly for that purpose. In household matters there are hun dreds of ways in which economy can be practiced. For instance, in any room ithat is much used a rug or strip of car !pet laid down near the door, where the most wear comes, will save the carpet nd make it last twice as long. ; White tablecloths should always have table napkins spread at the end where the carving goes on, so that in case of any gravy bei...

If the silver Democracy has any say In the matter, the merchants and business men of the country who favor a short Presidential campaign will be disap pointed. At least this is the view of the matter taken by W. II.

"I see from the papers," he said, "that the Republican National conven tion will probably be held J une 10. This would naturally bring the Demo cratic convention at an earlier date.

This would soon re suit in withdrawing nearly all the gold in the country from circulation, mak ing a serious contraction of the cur rency with great danger of a panic.
